Never too Early for Christmas
Wilson was so laid back for a snowbot
But busy times loomed soon, it was that time of year.
Mr. Clause deplores snowbot slothfulness, so,
Threatened Wilson, with a fuse removal engineer.
Wilson said, “Hey Santano, there’s four months to go!”
Mr. Claus countered, “Four billion kids to provide for!”
There’s a million snowbots in Santa’s Lapland
But Wilson wished, there was at least one more.
Wilson was in dire need of recharging,
He’d spent months rewrapping unwanted presents.
Only ‘cos kids didn’t behave themselves or believe –
They should know that’s Christmas, it’s the essence.
OK, ‘essence’ was tagged on, only ‘cos it rhymed
Truth is, Wilson guessed it was very near to fact.
He knew Clausy panicked, but Hey!!, Santa’d never failed!
No way, did Wilson want, to get sacked.
Snowbot mentality, says ‘work until recharge’
But Wilson was wired in a different way.
Santa’s motto was, “Work don’t stop in the grotto.”
Well it would, if ‘wily Wilson’, had his say.
See .... Wilson was wired on a Friday night,
When the elves were preparing for a weekend feast.
Connected positive to negative and got it all wrong
And that’s when the spirit of Wilson was released.
Wilson looked like any normal snowbot
But had an eye and a mind for self gratification.
He was made of snow but with a dull scarlett glow
Where a heart should be – a weird combination.
Snowbots built for work, don’t notice 'out of the norm',
So while others worked, Wilson snored’n’slept
Mr. S Claus was at the end of his tether and beyond.
He had to accept Wilson – nevertheless he wept.
Santa didn’t want change but couldn’t stop it.
His job was to rejuvenate new kiddo generations.
So he took Wilson aside and applied
A special overall management consideration.
Wilson worked in repackaging, and was needed
Only because of all the naughty children out there.
So, Santa suggested, he visit these kids and put them right,
To save labour in the grotto and repair his despair.
Well, Wilson worked upon this suggestion,
As he languished in bed for several days.
Eventually, he said 'yes' to Santa,
So, Santa sent him on his ways.
And because of Wilson’s wrong wiring,
The world became a better place.
Far more presents were delivered that Christmas
And there was a huge grin on Santa’s face.
